UI/Visual Design Lead

About Us Headquartered in the United States, TP-Link Systems Inc. is a global provider of reliable networking devices and smart home products, consistently ranked as the world’s top provider of Wi‑Fi devices. The company is committed to delivering innovative products that enhance people’s lives through faster, more reliable connectivity.

About The Role We’re looking for a UI / Visual Design Lead to own the visual direction and high‑fidelity execution of our digital products. This role is strongly focused on UI and visual design—including layout, typography, color systems, and design consistency across platforms—and is ideal for a designer who thrives in polished, production‑ready interfaces. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and brand partners to translate requirements into pixel‑precise UI designs and scalable design systems. While usability and user context matter, this is not a UX research‑heavy role. We’re seeking a hands‑on visual leader who brings craft, clarity, and consistency to complex product experiences. Key Responsibilities Lead and manage design concepts for both hardware and software products. Define and enforce design standards, design system, and UI patterns to ensure consistency. Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and hardware teams to align design strategy with product roadmap. Design and iterate on interfaces: embedded device UI, mobile/web, control panels, and other touchpoints. Create high‑fidelity mockups, prototypes, and design specifications for hardware and software. Ensure brand consistency across product lines, reflecting our visual identity in all digital and physical touchpoints. Conduct design reviews, provide feedback, and mentor team members. Represent the design discipline in cross‑functional strategy discussions, advocating for usability, aesthetics, and brand experience. Requirements 8+ years of experience in visual design, interaction design, or UI design, with leadership experience. Experience designing for both hardware (embedded UIs) and software (web/mobile) is highly preferred. Proficiency in design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite, prototyping tools). Experience building or managing design systems. Strong visual design sensibility and attention to detail. Excellent communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills. Portfolio that demonstrates past work across product types (hardware + digital). Bachelor’s or master’s in design, HCI, Industrial Design, or equivalent experience.
